Joanne gives her expert advice on exactly what she does to make her page so amazing.

In this day and age, social media has a huge influence on the way we do business and how we interact with people.

As a designer, one of my favorite platforms to use is Instagram, each tiny square when all put together creates a story and within each square is the opportunity to attract and meet new people. With over 700million users on Instagram, it’s a great way for people to get to know your brand.

Just like a logo or a website any social media should be an extension of your brand and have a great story. Here are six tips to help you with your gram game.

1.) Don’t just think of one square at a time

Think of your overall feed. I started to explore this by doing collages and have done a few puzzle themes on my feed. You can see some on my Instagram or how it all works on the Preview app interview.

These don’t have to be taken with a professional camera but if you have one great, if you don’t then you just need to make sure you have great lighting, style your shot and make it interesting. If you don’t have access to images try looking for stock images. I’ve written a blog post on my favourite stock image sites.
